Migrating my dev Joomla! personal website to Production

After spending few more hours this week on my dev sandbox to add content and edit other configurations to the Joomla! personal website , finally I am ready to move the setup and data to a live location.

Following given steps worked for me for clean and successful migration.

1. Register a webaddress ( I had one registered already !)
2. Find a good web hosting provider who support Joomla! CMS (I am hosting at SiteGround). This hosting provider support PHP, MySQL and Apache Server.
3. Install Joomla! CMS or you can work with web hosting provider to do that for you. SiteGround offers Fantastico in the CPanel to install Joomla! at your user account. I decided to install Joomla! on my own at my account. The reason why I didn’t go with Fantastico was, one I wanted a specific latest version of Joomla! to install and second, I didn’t want to install the sample content.
